H.R. No. 2172 |
|
||
WHEREAS, Maelyn Jarmon, a New York City resident who hails | ||
from Frisco, was crowned the winner of the 16th season of the | ||
singing competition The Voice on May 21, 2019; and | ||
WHEREAS, The 26-year-old singer captured the hearts of the | ||
judges and the viewing public with her powerhouse vocals, which | ||
shined in her renditions of such hits as "The Scientist" and "Mad | ||
World"; her audition, which aired in March, went on to be one of the | ||
program's most-watched videos, with close to five million views; | ||
she continued honing her craft over the course of the competition | ||
while working with her coach, R&B superstar John Legend, and | ||
prevailed against runner-up Gyth Rigdon in the season finale, when | ||
she brought the house down by singing a live duet with musician | ||
Sarah McLachlan; and | ||
WHEREAS, Ms. Jarmon has faced adversity on her journey to | ||
fame; during her childhood, a treatment for recurring ear | ||
infections left her deaf in one ear and with impaired hearing in the | ||
other; she refused to let this setback prevent her from pursuing her | ||
dreams, and she immersed herself in singing and musical theater as a | ||
teenager; at age 17, she moved to New York City to try her skills on | ||
Broadway, and after several years on that scene, she decided to | ||
focus on creating original music; now with her trophy from The Voice | ||
in hand, she looks forward to releasing her first EP and booking | ||
local performances; and | ||
WHEREAS, Maelyn Jarmon's exceptional showing on The Voice has | ||
distinguished her as a star on the rise, and her fans in the Lone | ||
Star State and across the country are eager to see what the future | ||
holds for this extraordinarily talented young woman; now, | ||
therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby congratulate Maelyn Jarmon for her victory on | ||
Season 16 of The Voice and extend to her sincere best wishes for | ||
continued success; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for Ms. Jarmon as an expression of high regard by the Texas | ||
House of Representatives. | ||
